FOOD: An Agent-Oriented Dataflow Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces FOOD, a new Dataflow model that goes beyond the limitations of the existing models, and targets the implementation of multi-agent systems. The central notion of FOOD, the Dataunit, which expresses all the dynamics that are required in multiagent systems, is presented in details. Then it is shown how the FOOD model, despite its simplicity, has an expression power that goes beyond object-oriented languages in term of dynamics and mutability.

Object - Oriented Dataflow † Takayuki Dan
In our efforts to develop an object-oriented visual programming language, the dataflow model of computation is extended from its traditional functional model to an object-oriented model. It is argued that the concept of subroutine in the object-oriented model requires two different types of calling (activation) mechanisms, the synchronous call and the asynchronous call. Asynchronous subroutine ...
متن کاملMethod integration: An approach to develop agent oriented methodologies
Agent oriented software engineering (AOSE) is an emerging field in computer science and proposes some systematic ideas for multi agent systems analysis, implementation and maintenance. Despite the various methodologies introduced in the agent-oriented software engineering, the main challenges are defects in different aspects of methodologies. According to the defects resulted from weaknesses ...
متن کاملDataflow Oriented Workflow Similarity Matching Using Causal Analysis
Workflows are used to automate repetitive tasks and they resemble real-life processes. A process is made up of a collection of interrelated activities and is initiated in response to a triggering event. The goal of the process is to achieve a specific or discrete result for the requestor [2]. Workflow is an abstraction of the real process and it is represented as a model of computation (MoC) [3...
متن کاملEvolving Dataflow Visualization to Service-Oriented Architectures on the Grid
In this paper, we describe the way in which the dataflow visualization may be carried over to a ServiceOriented architecture, using Web services in a Grid environment. Previous related work in dataflow visualization is reviewed, and used to motivate the idea of a Service-Oriented dataflow pipeline. The concepts of static and dynamic Service-Oriented visualization dataflow are introduced. A demo...
متن کاملWolf: A tool to recover dataflow oriented designs of software systems
Dataflow diagrams have been used to model systems, not just software systems, even before computers were invented. Several forward engineering techniques for developing software systems use dataflow information for analyzing the requirements and/or the designs. Wolf is a tool to recover dataflow designs of software systems from their source code. It is expected to benefit problem domains in whi...
